Meanwhile, the UN crap continues....

Any day I see a walking stick is a good day.

A local journalist sent this around. They were applying to attend the ICAO. As another discussant observed, the newspaper this reporter represents is not affiliated with a Taiwanese new agency and thus there are no grounds whatsoever for rejection.

++++++++++++++

Good afternoon,

With respect to your request for accreditation to attend the 38th Session of the ICAO Assembly, ICAO continues to conduct itself in accordance with the United Nations’ one-China policy and our unit is unfortunately not permitted to accredit media directly affiliated to Taiwanese news agencies while this policy remains in place.

We regret any inconvenience this may cause.

Sincerely,

Sue-Ann Rapattoni

No one is to blame for this except the Taiwanese people themselves. What I mean is that Taiwanese are too divided and do not speak with one voice.

Although the majority of the people here think/want to be a sovereign country, 51% keep voting for the murdering, bumbling, corrupt, gangster supported, China sellout KMT fvcktards. In addition, the temple/agri/political networks the KMT established are hard to break, but break they must for Taiwan to have any future. Frankly, I have given up hope that Taiwan can escape the destiny they created for themselves.

COMMENTS: May take a while. Google screwed up the old Comments functions in its most recent "upgrade" which really hurt the functionality and usability of Blogger, another trademark Google upgrade that made problems worse while adding more clicks to get anything done.

Photos on this blog are hosted by Flickr. I used to enthusiastically recommend Flickr but the new site changes have grievously impaired its usefulness. My current recommendation: find another photo host. My photos at Flickr. Just click on any photo to be taken to its Flickr page to view it in larger size.
